Advantages and Disadvantages• Advantages
– Power plant gain offers a single-pole roll-off– Line rejection– Cycle-by-cycle current limiting protection– Current sharing
• Disadvantages– Noise– Minimum ON-time– Sense resistor

CMC Sub-Harmonic Oscillation• Current mode
controlled power converters operating at duty cycles >50% are prone to sub-harmonic oscillation
• Disturbances in peak rising current ( I) increase at the end of the cycle

Control-Loop Considerations Rules of Thumb• Crossover frequency at 1/5th the switching frequency with a
phase margin of 45˚• Higher crossover frequency relates to faster transient response and an
increased likelihood of instability• Lower crossover frequency relates to slower transient response and an
increased likelihood of stability
13
Current Mode Line TransientsPerformance Trade-offs• Sudden changes in the line voltage are alleviated by use of a large
input cap• Inherently better response in current mode because of implicit line
feed-forward• Use of several caps in parallel reduces the ESR also improving
performance• High crossover frequency allows control loop to quickly accommodate
perturbations in the system
